Available to hire
Hi, I’m Gareth Boughtwood, a Front-End Developer based in Brighton, UK. Over the years, I’ve developed strong skills in React.js, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, and I’m passionate about building clean, modular code with a sharp eye for design consistency and usability. I enjoy collaborating in agile environments and continuously work to optimize web performance and accessibility.
In addition to my technical skills, I love experimenting with different CSS frameworks like Tailwind and Bootstrap and leveraging tools like GitLab and Docker to streamline development processes. When I’m not coding, I enjoy cooking, reading, watching films, and attending live music events including gigs and festivals.
